CHAPTER 23: Rivalry & Reckoning

Tunde panted softly, tossing the last of the tier 1 beasts aside. He held the core firmly in his hand, casting a glance around at the silent forest, devoid of any life. Calmly, he tossed the core onto the pile of others he had accumulated. Whatever creatures remained had gone into hiding, terrified of the madman who had laid waste to the entire ecosystem with nothing but his fists and the indomitable strength of his body. His skin had already healed from the various injuries, his body rapidly breaking down the toxins from the bites of numerous creatures.

Dropping to the ground in a meditative position, Tunde closed his eyes and took a deep breath, beginning to cycle the Ethra he had absorbed through the relic. He felt it burgeon his body and Ethra lines, a tiny drop of energy being added to his reserves. It was minuscule, but it brought a smile to his face.
